I'll look into getting her more stuffed animals (she's going through the current one really fast). We're already looking at obedience classes too.<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/><BR/>Nathan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-20400964820254120492008-07-30T15:22:00.000-04:002008-07-30T15:22:00.000-04:00Fred, from Srbija again.Probably Smile(y) is so at...Fred, from Srbija again.<BR/><BR/>Probably Smile(y) is so attached because she has never had the exclusive affection of humans before: she has always had to share it with the dogs in our Residence or in Pancevo. But I think Nathan and Catherine should be strong -- do not let her persuade you to come back once you have left, and give her lots of love when you come home, and she will soon adjust to the routine. She is young and smart -- she would also benefit from basic obedience classes -- in English. Her training here was in Srbijan.<BR/><BR/>Also, the stuffed animal is a very good idea. We have had a few come from Elizabeth, and we find they are excellent comforts for dogs with insecurities, or recovering in cages from various operations. Maybe a couple more good size ones, that she can snuggle as well as carry, will help her through her adjustment.<BR/><BR/>We are all soooooo happy for Smile(y) here! She is such a sweet girl, and so affectionate, and we were so scared that she would never find anyone to love! From Cathrine, Ivana, Goran, Stanko, Tanja, the vets, and the Animal Rescue crew, to Nathan and Catherine, thanks so much for appreciating our wonderful girl and giving her the chance of a life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
